I get the impression that most Chinese entrepreneurs are so focussed on doing what they need to do to succeed in the Chinese market - which is a big enough challenge even for the established players - that nobody is thinking much about the longer run or the bigger global picture.

In China, you have to have a strong leader for a business to get anything done.

In a couple of years, the Chinese will be seen as regular participants in international industry. Their companies have to report to shareholders as well as to the Chinese authorities. They need to make money, they have to be efficient.

Many Chinese companies are run like military camps with military discipline. We do not run a company that way. It does not help the creative process.

Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.

China is a government-oriented economy. No one can say he can run his business entirely without government connections. Anybody who says that he or she can do things alone... is a hypocrite.

China has many successful entrepreneurs and business people. I hope that more people of insight will put their talents to work to improve the lives of poor people in China and around the world, and seek solutions for them.

Remember, China is the largest country in the world, so they have the confidence, the capital and resources to create large companies.

I think U.S. and Chinese businesses need a common language and dialogue.

If the communist party is controlling China, they represent China.
